Really grateful Neil shared of himself to the public in the ways that he did. Also grateful he modeled exercising boundaries between personal and professional lives. We are so lucky to appreciate what he offered us.

 

What he gave us was and is infinitely better than what we usually get from "rock stars", namely tabloid stories about their decadent, abusive and destructive lives and actions.

 

He was an entirely different type of animal wasn’t he? Thoughtful and introverted. Uncomfortable with attention, but a born performer.

 

All three are good guys, normal guys. The Good Guys do win from time to time.

I can’t help imagining the following scenario:   Scene: Heaven, The Afterlife, Elysian Fields, Valhalla   Jesus: Oh My ME!!! Look over there, look who just walked in through the gates, it’s NEIL FREAK

what are you listening to, mostly?

 

This week I've been revisiting Counterparts and Test For Echo. Prior to that, I just got a copy of the bootleg for the only Rush concert I made it to, which has been on repeat constantly between my news podcasts.

Those two albums, and some Presto, have been my summer bicycling tunes!

 

I only went to two concerts. I hope that does not mean we like them less :).

 

They are amazing live!

lots of musicians have died the past couple years, but Neil's death hurt the most for me :(

Revisited this thread and the fact that Neil is gone, but then was poking around YouTube and was reminded of this video, last time, last song, last ever, and how he came out from behind those drums (an utterly unheard of thing) and how these guys gave it every single thing they had every night right up to the end (I love 3:30+ when they are really jamming out). What a gem of a way to go out, ol' Neil did taking those photos and coming out to the front.

 

Long live Neil.

I've seen lots of favorite musicians pass away, but Neil's death kicked me in the balls the hardest :(

I watch this about once a month.(from the time the last note rings out.) It's a moment in time I never want to forget.

 

I really wish the whole show would be released.

And another thing, I can express my feeling on here as much as I can without insulting a person on here and I dont mean to be rude, but you got a problem with how I write on here and coming after me with what I write then dont comment at all. I loved Neil as much as everyone here but to put me down after this is crazy af. I tend to get very close to a certain things or person because I grew up with it or them. It is a weird little habits that I get whenever I get into something that I love so much. I am not going to be bulled on here for expressing my feelings on here and I been bullied at school, from peers to teachers to know who is poking fun at me. I cant sometimes read feelings but if you knew me, then you will understand where I am coming from when I say "Sweet Neil".

I took a lot of solace in knowing that Neil's work was finished and he ended things with Rush on his terms. I'm not sure if that helps you through it at all but the man's work had been completed before he died and he left us a great legacy of music which always makes me happy when I listen to it.

Where did you run off to? Haven't seen you for a long time, my friend. I sent you birthday greetings.
